The information you read to get those differences were almost certainly written about rifle cartridge loading.
40 grains of BP should be about right in the .45 Colt.
If a little bit of compression is required to get that much under the bullet,...

With such little bullet weight I seriously doubt it would work. Those rifles barely work right when loaded to their original specs. Download the cartridge just a little bit and they quit working, it's quite a delicate balancing act Winchester pulled...

I'll second that - my JES rebored rifle shoots its best with paper patched 9.3mm boolits as well. They start out at .367" and get patched to .378". Smokeless or black powder, it shoots amazingly small groups with no hint of leading. As a bonus, the...

Trying to shoot that original PRS boolit at 100 yards, the amount of compression on your powder isn't going to matter much. There's not much of anything you can do to make that boolit shoot accurately that far away. It works great for up close and...

I will certainly refrain from owning anything that is 'voice controlled'.

In my own experience, I had to pull the bullets on factory ammo and seat them out enough so the barrel had to be forced closed. Remove the extractor to do this. That would...

I buy their 45 Mag Basic brass to make my .416 Taylor brass from. It being longer that .458 mag brass I can trim the brass to the correct Taylor length after reforming a .416 neck on the brass. I have found that it lasts longer then reformed...

The video reminded that I have about 1K lb. of both sorted and unsorted wheel weights I need to get smelted into ingots, just got another free 3/4 full 5 gal. pail from my buddy at a car dealship to add to the pile I already have.Robert

I look at most things in life with a dry humor.
Many of those who read what I write think of me as 'negative' because they can't recognize humor unless it is surrounded with smileys.
Of that I am positive ...
